A CRACK CYCLIST.
INJURED WHILST TRAINING.
"It- was some 14 months ago," said Mr J. G. Slight, crack Marton cyclist to a special reporter, 'that I found I was unequal to riding my bicycle. I Avas very sorry to lay it aside, but had no help for it, I felt internal pains when riding, and suffered greatly from nervousness and weakness. I was unable to sleep properly, ate little, and altogether was in a, poor way. I consulted several doctors who prescribed and ordered liniments, but I obtained little relief. I had evidently strained some internal organ, and my stomach appeared disorganised. One day I read in
I the paper a testimonial given bj- an ' athlete who had been cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills and whose case had been much worse than mine, so I gave them a trial." "What result did you experience?" "I have been better ever since," was : the ready reply. "The first box brought a great improvement, and three boxes completely cured me. All nervousness and unpleasant internal symptoms have left me and I can do a twenty mile ride on my bike, and enjoy It. Manual work, which previously I could not perform, now does not affect me in the least." Athletes in all parts of the world have given testimonials to Dr. Williams' pink pills, for they find in them a ready and permanent cure. This Is due to their tonic action on the blood and nerves. They purify the blood, retone the nerves, and eliminate the foundations of disease. T'uis they cure consumption, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, dysentery, dyspepsia, insomnia, erysipelas, rickets, skin diseases, effects of fevers and ague, anaemia, ladies ailments, etc. Sold •by chemists! and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillin_rs per box—But mind you ask for Dr. Williams'. Be sure the full name is printed in red ink on the whittle wirapoer. Substitutes cannot benefit you, but may cause incalcu- j able harm.
